- Note:
Hazel left home around 1921 and traveled
back to La Grand, Oregon, where she was
born when her father was an air brake
specialist for the railrod. She worked
in the hops fields and other odd jobs
while traveling through California and
the southwest on her way back to
Binghamton. She married Raymond Lord
Spooner December 20, 1922 in Hornel.
New York. Ray deserted her with their one
son and two daughters in 1931. She never
remarried. She died in Our Lady of
Lourdes, Hospital, Binghamton, between 10
and 12 a.m. of cancer of the pancreas. She
worked most of her life as an Edge-stitcher
in the Boys & Youth Factory, Endicott
Johnson shoe factory, Johnson City, NY. On
May 9, 1980, her children gathered at the
family plot in Grenwood Cemetery and buried
the urn containing her ashes on the bank
above the family plot. She has no stone to
mark her grave, but she is with her own,
may she rest in peace!
